A necro-knight is a warrior who has harnessed necromantic magic to command squads of undead soldiers in battle. Most necro-knights serve an undead or fiendish master, either directly or indirectly, while others live solitary lives as bounty hunters or brigands. Necro-knights are almost never encountered alone; they are typically accompanied by their undead minions and their mount summoned via find steed. |
